Character Study II

The journey from start to finish is not an issue for many people these days. But it always seems the progression of the journey constitutes for the biggest problem. You want things to end right away, an ending finalizing happiness. Well, I couldn't find that happiness in my young roaring twenties. The glorious age to have fun, have balance, and have a life. That's what I thought my dreams were suppose to be until I got evicted from my apartment, dumped by the bae (girlfriend), and fired from my job. I only had a few savings left in the account. They still needed to be paid for loans and taxes. I lost all my inspiration in just a short period of time and still cannot find my happiness.

On a drive to the grocery store, I saw a homeless man waving a sign saying 'Spare Change?'. I didn't really have pocket money and damn was I getting poorer by the second. As I gathered the treasured supplies outside the store, I noticed that the man was still there, but with a different sign. It said 'Don't be like me, help wherever and obtain it'. I couldn't get that off my mind. 

I was able to stay at my friend's house for some time. Man, I still was jumbling that message around in my head. Could this kind of situation be me? "Bro! What we eating tonight? I hope you're the best cook in town." Gordie walks in with a wide smile. "Naw bra, I could probably get ready some macaroni or some eggs and shiz if you want." I replied. "Fine by me, I'm staaarrrrvvving." We sat there by the table, pondering our daily thoughts. "Yo, what's with that mysterious face you got going on?" "Me?" "Yeah you. Who else do you think I'm asking in this empty kitchen with only two people in it?" He had a point, I felt dumbfounded, for a second. "Man, you know I've always wanted to do a project and stuff, something that flares content and positive attitude." "Hahaha, which you don't have, but really what are you thinking about?" I've had this idea of filming a homeless man for like a week or so and learn about his past." "And where do you have time for that? Payments man, money, the dough is what you need to clear your past." Damn Gordie was right for once, but I still wanted to discover how things would happen to a single person without a home. Gordie stops munching on his dish, "You know what, I'll support you for now because your luck has ran out for awhile and I think that I could get something good out of this, a documentary maybe, I mean you're in a massive debt anyways, why not experience a homeless life." "Dude! That's a great idea! I'll pay you back in whatever I could do." "Naw man, as long as you're chill with me, our broship is tight bra, you hear me." "Yeah man I naw mean!"

Gordie bought me an average camera, video and picture intended. I got myself a mini notebook to keep track of stories. The biggest challenge for me was leaving the electronics. I kept my watch to keep time anyways but everything else that required electricity and bills were left behind. I started out walking through the crooked streets of LA.
